Don't cut me, punch me, just let me go
Into the nurse's office where I float away
I'm pale as the loose-leaf paper they grow
From hollowing out all my lungs in the snow
Yeah, I'm coughing, I'm bleeding
Band-Aids won't heal it
'Cause they hate me, so I'm fakin'
All of-of this so they take-take me
Take me home, home, home
Give me that pink slip of permission
This is old, old, old
I'm tired of wishing I was ditching
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Teacher, can I sit right there?
This bitch behind me is cutting my hair
"No, just sit your ass down at the chalkboard, you stare"
I faked up a seizure and left then and there
Yeah, I'm coughing, I'm bleeding
Band-Aids won't heal it
'Cause they hate me, so I'm fakin'
All of-of this so they take-take me
Take me home, home, home
Give me that pink slip of permission
This is old, old, old
I'm tired of wishing I was ditching
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Take me home, home, home
Give me that pink slip of permission
This is old, old, old
I'm tired of wishing I was ditching
Home, home, home
Old, old, old
